Replying to @ChrisBirdIA
Chris, i don’t think we as should be normalizing tantrums like that. It does affect players who are in a middle of a game who hear loud noises. In many sports such acts are penalized as unsportsmanlike behavior in order to send a message to younger athletes.
I'll be burning my certificate live on twitch this evening
Who says those who drink in the bar until 4am at @4NCL can't make chess titles. These 2 mugs are FMs

I can't believe it.
We were just having a great day: playing chess, drinking, eating chilli, and being silly.
Just over a week ago 😭😭.
RIP my great friend, Gavin Wall ❤️ – at Godalming, England
I am worried the ECF will require London's club players to sign a contract not to play in events competing with the English championship
FIDE World Rapid Teams 2025 goes to London. Jun 10-16.
We expect an exceptional event. The prize fund goes up to 500K USD, and we foresee many top stars, and club players taking part.
My personal thanks goes to Scheinberg family, backing the event!

Who is going to tell @Kasparov63 he could have just agreed to share the title with Karpov after three draws?
Who knew that @CristianChirila would become famous for creating a dress code?
Really upset by this tweet. The twitter algorithm showing me this sort of content instead of tweets about chess is why I'm mostly using the other place.
Sensational stuff. We've had the extreme left - extreme right antisemitic horseshoe that Corbyn managed to enhance and now here we have a new alliance based around sexual orientation. Not a horseshoe, perhaps, something in the shape of a limp dick @jk_rowling @antisemitism

Congratulations to Arjun Erigaisi for crossing the 2800 mark in live chess ratings! This is a phenomenal feat. His exceptional talent and perseverance make our entire nation proud. In addition to being a great personal milestone, it will also inspire many more youngsters to play chess and shine on the global stage. Wishing him the very best for his future endeavours. @ArjunErigaisi

Not going to lie, feeling a bit emotional. Most of TWIC 1558 is done. Got to write a little intro and put things together and that'll be 30 years.
Appalling scenes at the #ChessOlympiad as @CristianChirila leaves @NastiaKarlovich hanging. @FIDE_chess must condemn. (where were you @polborta ?) #chessdrama

Too many #chesspunks complaining about not being able to increase your rating, when you have not even tried poisoning your opponents.
